Simple and straight to the point from that statement made. Well said Chelsea FC.

[Special Juan 27,104]

Mikel out injured.... after that no problems.

Jose Mourinho says the people involved in the Paris incident are not Chelsea. #CFC

Jose supports the idea of the victim coming to one of our games.so he can feel what Chelsea is really about. #CFC

Jose says he felt ashamed when he heard what happened but is a proud Chelsea manager as he knows those people don't represent the club.#CFC

Jose says he is sure the Chelsea dressing room has always been one with big principles, and the players reacted the same way he did. #CFC

Jose says from the first minute it found out about the Paris incident, the club is doing absolutely everything it could about it. #CFC

Jose reiterates he feels ashamed to be connected with the incident and apologises to the gentleman. The club is writing to do the same. #CFC

Jose always did have a way with words.

Hope RLC or Ake will be on the bench today, giving Iva a rest and getting Luis back to fitness, resting Willian too.

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

3pts.

We're at the bridge... nuff said

Don't care who starts just want the right result.

[Laylabelle 9,300]

Tough tough game.No push over and have proven that but we bloody not be either.Every game a final and all and cant afford to drop points...go for it and play better then we have

[chelseawise 115]

We have not hit top gear since Swansea Game. I hope we change that tomorrow and carry that momentum until the end of season.

Tbio

Iva Zouma JT Luiz

Matic Fabregas

Qudrado Willian HAzrad

Costa

No excuse for tomorrow, has to be comprehensive win.

[Eden Hazardous 17]

As an offensive line-up as possible.

[kdot 58]

Courtois

Ivanovic Zouma Terry Luis

Matic Fabregas

Cuadrado Oscar Hazard

Costa

I'm not too concerned about the lineup but this is what I would go with; simple enough. Looking forward to the game...

[CHOULO19 24,332]

As an offensive line-up as possible.

Offensive? We should get those racist fans from the metro to start, then

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

Costa must score to regain confidence, he has not been playing well lately.

[Chelsea4 1,521]

Costa must score to regain confidence, he has not been playing well lately.

He didnt play 3 matches because he was suspended and his first game was againts psg how can you expect him to play good.

[iseah100 5,612]

At the bridge we should win 3-0.

[boshman 1,073]

Costa must score to regain confidence, he has not been playing well lately.

He hasn't been on the pitch because of suspension lately you mean....

[illmatic 901]

For me, this should be our habitual headline, principally for the big games, and we need that they starts to play together.

[Myself 793]

if luis doesn't start this game i'm going to ragequit

[Madmax 9,219]

Burnley are a good side, they gave us trouble in the second half at their place and we've not been scoring freely at all lately so I suspect Mourinho will go for his first choice defensive unit with the only real change up front being either Oscar or Cuadrado coming in for Rami and Cesc partnering Matic.
